Visual art practitioners, curators and organisations are invited to propose exhibitions and events. In addition to promoting and celebrating the work of resident exhibiting organisations of the city of Edinburgh, the Festival encourages additional projects conceived specifically for the Festival, from within the UK and internationally.
The Festival recognises artists at every stage of their career and seeks to promote and celebrate a wide range of visual art from the historical to the contemporary.

All proposals are reviewed and selected by a panel comprising of members of the Edinburgh Art Festival board and invited visual art professionals from outside the city.
SELECTION CRITERIA (truncated)
1. Exhibitions should fall into one of more of the following categories: sculpture; painting; printmaking; drawing; photography; sound; experimental film; live art; installation; artist video; and new media. Work that pushes the boundaries of definition, creates links between these categories and other art forms or utilises emerging technologies is equally welcome.
2. Similarly where a proposal is for an event or open studio, the event must have as its subject work that can be categorised as above.
3. All proposals must demonstrate a high degree of artistic quality, equally in the subject and presentation of the project.

Create a Beaded Tapestry by manipulating beads, cloth and fibers into an imaginative detailed, tactile and visual representation of this year’s theme: Mystery Genre Book Covers.
And then write a short Artist Statement (between 1000-2000 words) about the general story-line of the book which the cover represents, how you made choices about what things to include on your cover, the materials and techniques you used in creating your book cover tapestry, and your strategies for adding a sense of dimensionality to the book cover tapestry.
The Competition is open to all -- United States and International -- who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. Limit one (1) entry per household. The “Artist” may be one individual, or a collaboration.
No entry fee.
We use the concept of "Tapestry" in its broadest sense as a stitched, sewn and/or woven wall hanging. Your tapestry may be woven, loomed, stitched, quilted, cross-stitched, crocheted, knitted, sewn, braided, knotted, embroidered, macramed, beaded and the like. Your tapestry will combine fibers/threads/and/or cloth and beads in some way, and the surface area must consist of at least 70% beads. Beads may be used in many ways, such as forming the background canvas of your piece, and/or embellishing your canvas, and/or as fringe, and/or as stitchery covering parts of your piece. Your piece should be mounted or framed in some way, ready for hanging on a wall. Your tapestry may utilize many different techniques.
The Illustrative Beader: Beaded Tapestry Competition submissions must be original works. These Tapestries should be new creations that have not been viewed on websites, auctions, magazines, books, or in any other way widely made available to the public.
Entries will be judged by a panel from The Center for Beadwork & Jewelry Arts. These distinguished Beadwork and Jewelry Artist instructors will judge each beaded tapestry based on:
1. INSIGHT
2. TECHNIQUE
3. USE OF BEADS/BEADING AS ARTISTIC MEDIUM
4. VISUAL APPEAL
5. QUALITY OF WRITTEN ARTIST STATEMENT

Rocket Grants
Deadline: April 2, 2010 by 4 PM (RECEIVE) OR (Hand Delivery)
Rocket Grants
The Charlotte Street Foundation
Kansas City, MO
2010-2011
Rocket Grants will fund projects that exist outside of established institutions, occur outside of traditional forms of support, challenge traditional methods of production or presentation, add energy and diversity to the field of arts activity in our area, and provide opportunities for the creative growth of those involved. Elevating the presence of unconventional or under-recognized art forms is a strong priority for this grant program.
Rocket Grants will enable individuals and groups of artists to take new risks with their work, push the scope and scale of their activities, develop and pursue collaborative projects, and/or engage with the public and public realm in inventive and meaningful ways. In doing so, these Rocket Grants seek to create ripple effects, as artists, processes, and projects supported engage, inspire, and propel other artists; spark new ideas and ways of working; and contribute to a regional culture characterized by unconventional and expansive forms of interaction, exchange, provocation, and surprise.
ELIGIBILITY:
Artists, curators, collectives, collaboratives, partnerships, and artist-run spaces residing within an 80 mile radius of the Kansas City metropolitan area, including Lawrence, Kansas, are eligible to apply. If applying as a group, the artistic group can be long-standing or created specifically for this project. Please identify one participant to serve as the lead contact for the project. Non-profit organizations are NOT eligible.
DESCRIPTION:
These Rocket Grants will provide $40,000 in cash awards of up to $4000 each to area artists, curators, and writers, or groups thereof, to support the creation and presentation of new work/projects. Supported projects may include visual art, performance, film, video, new media, social practice and interdisciplinary projects. Performing artists are eligible to apply if their work includes a strong visual component/ involves meaningful collaboration with a visual artist or artists.
Projects must have a public life – i.e., they must engage and be made accessible to the public via process, presentation, production, or publication. Manifestations may include exhibitions, public art projects, public programs, events, performances, screenings, online projects, publications, residencies, programming of artist-run spaces, etc. Support for curatorial and publication projects will be for original projects involving significant collaboration with artist(s) from the geographic region and substantially contributing to this region’s contemporary art and cultural discourse. Projects that will reach or connect artists and/or communities from different parts of the region (i.e. Kansas City and Lawrence) are encouraged.

PlatteForum’s artist-in-residence program (Creative Residencies) supports the creation and presentation of new works of art by artists in all genres.

The PlatteForum approach, pairing youth Learning Labs with the Creative Residency program, makes a valuable contribution to the city’s cultural discourse, impacts the lives of the youth participating, while fostering personal growth of the artist.
